The president's main job is, with the board, to set direction for the group. She chairs general meetings and board meetings, and oversees the work of the group. Here's a pretty good job description >from a document on the File Exchange. President – Serve as leader and key contact for the PTO; preside at all PTO meetings; ex-officio member of most committees; appoint chairpersons for special committees; coordinate the work of the officers and committees so that the PTO’s objectives can be met. (Effort: year-round, on-going)
